C3107 In the Nick of Time!(1)
Before the old tree could finish his sentence, Faang Cheng suddenly put his index finger in the middle of his lips and made a gesture to silence everyone.
Faang Cheng first listened quietly for a while, then he moved his head to the side of the mountain, as if he was listening to the sounds coming from the mountain. After that, he bent down a little bit and started to listen to the sounds coming from the ground. After listening for a while, he suddenly got up.
"Run!"
After he got up, he lowered his voice and shouted, then he pushed Lee Zhaowen and the old tree to run in the direction they came from.
"Ah? What... What happened? Is something coming? "
Lee Zhaowen asked Faang Cheng as he ran.
"It's that kind of hissing sound. There are a lot of them, much more than the four or five thin strips we heard before. I think they can suppress us and make us unable to resist."
Faang Cheng explained to Lee Zhaowen and the old tree while running.
"So many? Why are there so many of these things? They have such a strong reproductive ability!"
Lee Zhaowen couldn't help but retort when he heard Faang Cheng's description.
"Wouldn't it cause ecological imbalance if there are too many of these things?"
Their conversation rose from fantasy to the level of environmental protection.
"It's said that these thin strips can reproduce on their own, so maybe... the number of offspring will be a little more."
The old treant followed behind Faang Cheng and Lee Zhaowen, telling them what he had heard and knew.
"However, there should be a predator here that will suppress their reproduction speed. Otherwise, this void would not be able to contain them."
Although the old treant did not understand what ecological balance was, he understood the balance of Yin and Yang. He knew that every place had its own reason for maintaining the balance of life. This was the law of the jungle. This kind of thing would not continue to reproduce without end, which meant that there must be another species that was suppressing it. It was just like the herb near the place where snakes lived that could detoxify snake venom.
"Do you mean... there are even more terrifying things in this place? Stop it. We can't take it anymore. There are so many monsters here. We won't follow that Shang Yun down. Anyway, with Shang Yun's ability, no matter how cunning and sly he is, he won't be able to deal with it. He will die sooner or later. Why should we care about him?"
Lee Zhaowen really regretted coming to this void.
"Didn't we save the old treant? It's not like we didn't gain anything."
Faang Cheng patted Lee Zhaowen's shoulder as he ran.
Lee Zhaowen turned around and looked at the old treant behind him, then nodded.
"That's right. Shang Yun is dead, and the old treant has saved him. It can be considered as a gain. This trip was not in vain. Alright, let's leave this abyss quickly."
As Lee Zhaowen spoke, he quickened his pace and ran in the direction they came from.
"Yeah, we just need to escape to the area near the mountain wall with vines. The monsters here don't seem to dare to approach that mountain wall. It seems like that place is already the edge of the barrier. If those monsters go out and enter the barrier, they will probably end up in a bad situation!"
Faang Cheng analyzed the monsters based on their previous behavior and concluded that the monsters in the Land of Nothingness were all afraid of leaving the barrier. So, as long as they ran to that place with all their might, they should be safe.
"Alright, let's go! Run..."
Lee Zhaowen exerted his strength and ran in the direction they came from as fast as he could.
Faang Cheng and the old tree spirit also began to exert their strength. They could already hear the creepy hissing sound behind them. The sound was like thousands of snakes crawling and chasing after them. It would really make people collapse if they heard it.
Faang Cheng and the others knew that the main group of monsters was behind them. They had to run with all their might.
After passing through the shortcut, they finally arrived at the barren grassland. They could not care about the big mouth flowers and shrubs that were still alive and had a certain attacking power. They rushed into the grassland and ran towards the other side.
Lee Zhaowen, who was running at full speed, was about to be devoured by the big mouth flower. Lee Zhaowen turned his hand and shot out a lightning fire. The big mouth flower screamed as it was burned. Its actions also affected the short shrub beside it. It did not plan to attack Faang Cheng and the others, but unfortunately, it was next to the big mouth flower. It was affected by the burning lightning fire, and it was also burned.2
"You still want to take a share of the cake? You don't even know your own identity."
Lee Zhaowen spat and continued to run.
His actions made Faang Cheng, who was behind him, laugh. However, he smiled and used his Spirit Power to increase the size of the lightning fire that Lee Zhaowen had just used by several times. It formed a semicircle behind them, like a barrier. Faang Cheng felt that this would at least be able to block the pursuit of the thin and tall strands behind them.
However, Faang Cheng was wrong. He turned his head and continued to run after he lit the fire. However, not long after, he heard a noise behind him. He thought that it was the dissatisfaction of the thin and tall strands being blocked by the fire, or the sound of a discussion between them. However, when he turned his head, he realized that the thin and tall strands were not afraid of the Spirit Power fire at all. They actually directly passed through the fire and continued to rush forward.
They still had flames on their bodies, but they did not feel any pain at all. They continued to chase after Faang Cheng and the others.
"Damn, these are all steel warriors!"
Lee Zhaowen's face was filled with disbelief, and the old tree spirit's face was also filled with shock.
"Those flames are all carrying Spirit Power, but they don't even feel pain?"
He also asked in a puzzled manner.
"Perhaps they can feel pain, but they don't want to stop and let us leave? I think that these creatures should be a type of creature that is extremely vengeful. So, they would rather be burned alive than be captured and avenged?"
Faang Cheng's intuition told him that these thin and tall strands should have this kind of mentality.
In the next second, the actions of the thin and tall strands verified Faang Cheng's guess. The thin and tall strands that had broken through the fire circle and were still running with the flames finally could not bear the pain of being burned alive and fell down. Their bodies were continuously burned by the lightning and fire of Faang Cheng and Lee Zhaowen's Spirit Power until they died in pain. Their bodies were charred and burnt black. However, the thin and tall strands behind them continued to chase after them. Moreover, their speed and strength were even faster and stronger than before.
